Potential barriers are those things that make things more difficult for certain groups and individuals. The barriers faced in my workplace could include;
• age- each age group has a different general approach to work which can often lead to conflict. Older workers may describe younger workers as slackers and younger workers criticizing older workers for being out of touch. You may also find that the older generation of workers may not be a able to carry out some strenuous tasks that the younger generation may be able to do.
• Mental health- an individual with mental health may face barriers due to a lack of understanding from other members of staff, fears and negative stereotypes that result in discrimination are often based on the assumption about a person traits or abilities based on what people may have heard or witnessed before. This could result in ignorance, harassment
